Oh ... I thought you guys new about this a month ago, or I would have sent the tips in. Gambit showed up on a EU box weeks ago, and Jean was on a GameStop ad.

It looks like Penance may be the next character announced. Other good possibilities are Ms. Marvel and Nova.

@SpiritThief: It's been a while since Rogue had Ms. Marvel's powers, hasn't it?

That said, we'd probably get them in the game anyway (flight and strength are much easier to work with than "no powers until you absorb something").

@SpiritThief: The day we can finally get everyone to stop confusing one of the most awesome comic book heroines ever with some retarded anthropomorphic bat thief will be a truly momentous day indeed.

Years and years of adversity, ignorance, and laziness...vanquished. And I shall look at the fallen heathen Rouge, and I shall utter one phrase:

"Goodnight, sugah."

Jean Grey is the most boring of all X-men and mutants and she should stop being featured in things.

Gambit is pretty cool though.

@MonsterKingRen: What? No way! Jean Grey is awesome, especially when Phoenix is involved.

The fact that her powers are more or less invisible lead to the necessity to give her character more depth, and if I may say so, she's generally a well-written character.

I don't see Jean Grey...

Sorry to nitpick but the comics and 90's tv show make a point to say that they are two completely different people living in the same body and when she looks like that then she is the Phoenix and not considered to be Jean Grey... Eh...I feel dirty now..

@Limeade: Rogue is awesome, but I can sort of understand why she so rarely appears in video games.

In a game full of enemies with cool powers to absorb, playing as a properly-implemented Rogue would be more or less like playing as Kirby. I'd imagine that the developers would consider that to be too much work for one character.

Here's hoping I'm wrong, though!

I want Vulcan. I want Ares. I want The Sentry. Hell, give me Exodus! I want characters that have not and will not appear in films past, present, and future.

MUA should be one long shout out to all the fans that keep comics in business. They should have Age of Apocalypse skins for all the relevant characters. Marvel 2099 skins too!

In short, give me something that is void of the stench of Hollywood and its transgressions against continuity. Please?

PS: Gambit sucks. ;)

@tehdorkz: In an animated show, the voice is 75% of what makes a character badass and cool.

As an exercise, let's imagine Gambit with the same exact lines and all the same awesome powers, but with the voice of Master Shake from Aqua Teen.

Not so badass and cool anymore, eh?

I would actually posit that young mr. Fett is not in nearly enough Star Wars games. In fact, that he doesn't yet have a super-HD jetpack murderfest on current generation consoles is an outrage. Republic Commando 2/Imperial Commando would slate my rage. Hint.

Anyway. Hooray Gambit.

Isn't Jean Grey, like, in one of her dead phases during the timeline they're trying to run at? I mean, I read Civil War, and I'm pretty sure she wasn't around at the time, but then again the X-Men weren't that active in that debacle outside of Wolverine, so I'm not 100%.

Might as well confirm Cyclops while you're at it, Activision. The fans will riot (or cry) if there's a game with Jean Grey in it and no Cyclops.

Glad to see the Ragin' Cajun is in there, though. I really hate MUA2's roster so far, with Deadpool and Gambit being only two of the not-completely-obvious inclusions I've actually supported. Hopefully the secret characters and DLC actually make the game worth playing.

@Archaotic: Agreed. Pheonix is a cool addition though. I didn't care much for the first MUA tbh. But then again I was playing the Wii version, and the controls really killed the experience for me. Who knows..this one may be good

@Archaotic: DLC will more than likely happen and I can bet my dollar that Deadpool and Gambit were included because of their recent appearance in the Wolverine Movie. Which is probably gonna release on DVD and Blu-ray around the time this game will release.

Much like the blu-ray version of Watchmen when the 2nd part of the game is due out.

@Griefy: Deadpool was included because he's a popular character and has been a staple of the X-Men Legends series and the original Ultimate Alliance.

Gambit, you're probably right. And DLC will definitely be coming. It's ACTIVISION. Will they pass up the opportunity to fleece money out of people? Can I get a "hell no"?

And you're absolutely correct: if Scott doesn't make an appearance, I am going to flip shit. Here is so very much hoping.

@tehdorkz: From what I can tell, the dude has a 50/50 split in the fandom. Some can't stand the old cut'n'dry leader, nor can they appreciate the new somewhat-disaffected, emotionally-unstable one.

But then there's a big group of fans, and I fall in this category, that find Scott Summers to be the most important X-Man ever, because they always wrote him that way. His character has always been interesting due to his necessity to the team's health. Yeah, he's gotten a bit emo lately, but dammit, I would be too if I were him. It's a wonder he lasted as long as he did. Though it is a little less tolerable in the new X-Men animated series, "Wolverine and the X-Men," simply because he's not leading the X-Men; Wolverine is. Which bothers me to no. End (Marvel went "Activision" on Wolverine years ago, and it's really starting to wear on me). Otherwise, the series is pretty awesome, updated for new continuity and rosters and stuff like that.

In ANY case, people like me will always like Cyclops so long as they don't completely tarnish his legacy.

@Archaotic: I'm more than confident that Cyclops is a given. He's pretty much the X-Man with the most face time now, even more than Wolverine. Which, of course, pisses off the people that like characters like Wolverine or Gambit, who used to have ALL the face time.

@reynoldswrap: Actually, there is very little roster room left - with Gambit and Jean, that makes 4 X-men on the roster, and the X-men didn't participate in the Civil War ... most people don't believe there will be another X character, and, if there is, all clues point to Psylocke/Iceman.
